i think the debate last night was more important to mitt romney than barack obama. i don't know how much this really changes the landscape, because, look, this race is very competitive. if you look at the eight battleground states, depending on the polls president obama is winning at all of them, but the margins are pretty close. i think the other thing that the debates could do for democrats and the president, and also for the voters, for our side, too, it signals that the game is on, and i think you will see much more enthusiasm. people talk about the enthusiasm gap. the polling for nbc news and "the wall street journal" -- >> so you are the conspiracy -- the conspirators on the left wing polling -- >> barack obama is ahead by 50 points among latinos, but their enthusiasm was less than in 2008. that was another aspect of last night. >> glen, my thinking had been, while it was mathematically possible for romney to get to 270 electoral votes without ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, that was like a three- or four- cushion shot in pool. is ohio what we should be looking

. >> from the start, romney controlled the direction of the debate, aggressively pushing president obama on the economy, job creation, and health care. we're going to talk to top advisers about how their candidates faired just ahead. we're also going to talk with chris matthews who had very strong feelings about the debate. but we want to begin with chuck todd, chief white house correspondent in denver this morning. chuck, good morning to you. >> reporter: well, good morning, savannah. look, this may have been the most substantive debate in the television era. and mitt romney dealt with it as if his campaign depended on it while a subdued president obama let romney dictate the terms of the debate. not exactly the gift the president was looking for on his 20th wedding anniversary. >> and so i just want to wish, sweetie, you happy anniversary and let you know that a year from now we will not be celebrating it in front of 40 million people. >> reporter: from the very beginning, mitt romney displayed a confident and commanding presence on stage, almost one-upping the president from the start
